Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I couldn't resist the Autumn Herbarium stamp and stencil set from The Greetery.
I had to add the embossing folder too.
I have spent the past week having so much fun with this set!
Here's the sketch that Judy gave us to work with....
I cut the background pieces from Neenah Solar White, loaded them in the embossing
folder (very carefully) and embossed. Then I used the stencils to add color with blending
brushes and Distress inks. I only colored the two corners, leaving the opposite corners as
embossed white space.
I had also included the Oblong Octagon Labels stamp and die in this order.
After die cutting, I stamped the frames and sentiment to add as the circle element.
Be sure to check out Freshly Made Sketches and maybe play along too.

Love the embossed background. I am liking the use of embossed backgrounds more and more. And the colors of the leaves are so pretty. I must be an Autumn person as I really love Fall colors.

Coloring only part of that beautiful embossed background not only worked for the challenge but added movement to your card, Bonnie. I can see why you were drawn to that set.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous new set of supplies AND a brilliant way to use that sketch, Bonnie! What is it about leaves that make us love them so?

Nailed it! Such a beautiful and elegant autumn card! Brilliant use of the sketch!
ReplyDeleteYour colored leaves are very pretty and I like how you only colored opposite corners to match the sketch. The framed sentiment is perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you did the embossing on four panels and only coloured two of them - it's a fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your card is amazing and beautiful, such glorious fall colors and feels, Bonnie. I love this entire set -- I had not seen it, but now... Just wow!
ReplyDeleteWOW...this is absolutely GORGEOUS Bonnie and sure looks like a winner to me! I love the embossed panels on your background and how you only stenciled 2 of the 4...soooooo pretty! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThose leaves and berries look REAL. Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI resisted, but you have me rethinking that decision! What a pretty take on the sketch with your new goodies. Love this, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteLove the effect of cutting the embossed image and only patially colouring it. It works well to add interest to your simple black and white focal point xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely Autumnal set from The Greetery which you have used to great effect on this card Bonnie, and love the design...perfect for the sketch challenge, and the octagonal layered and stamped labels look wonderful over the top. x
